Why Choose Douglas J’s Massage Therapy Program?

Many massage programs can take nearly two years to complete. At Douglas J Aveda Institute, our 625-hour program is focused on getting our students prepared for careers as soon as possible. Our experienced massage instructors teach students how to be professional, successful, and how to take care of others and themselves.

Career-Focused Education

We also know how important it is for students to know how to connect with guests in real life as well as on social media. The massage therapy program at Douglas J Aveda Institute teaches students the skills they need to start a career. This includes learning how to do a thorough consultation, how to use that information to develop and customize a treatment plan, and how to properly execute the plan. In addition to this, we can help you prepare for licensure and learn how to build a book of business.

Why Study Massage?

Massage is a great career for anyone who loves to help others. It’s a way to connect with people and share your passion for health and wellness. Our program uses the Ayurvedic massage technique, which is based on practices that over 5,000 years old. This practice is all about honoring the whole person: mind, body and spirit. Every person is unique and we want our students to know how to care for each individual.

Massage Career Possibilities

As a licensed massage therapist, you can find a new job in a variety of wellness-focused places. While spas are the most obvious workplace, you could also work in a chiropractor’s office, physical therapy clinic, wellness center, hospital, luxury resort or cruise ship.

I like the small classroom environment that Douglas J [Aveda Institute] offers, more one on one, I have been in bigger classes and it was harder to learn and grasp the concept. My friend who graduated from here talked to me about this school and suggested it for massage therapy, and we got to talking about this school, and it sounded great.
